FileTek, Inc., a developer of large-scale data management and information governance solutions, announced Trusted Edge for Intelligent Content Migration, a solution that locates, classifies, and moves documents stored on network file shares into secure locations within enterprise content and records management systems. Trusted Edge uniformly classifies, tags, and moves both new and existing content during the legacy file migration. The solution provides certified adapters for leading repositories, including Microsoft SharePoint, Open Text Livelink, Laserfiche, Symantec Enterprise Vault, IBM Content/Records Manager, FileTek StorHouse, and all repositories that are compliant with the WebDAV interface standard. Traditional file archive applications normally bulk move data "as is" from cluttered file shares to other locations without collecting metadata or applying consistent rules that evaluate individual file content and business value. In contrast to traditional approaches, Trusted Edge for Intelligent Content Migration addresses the shared drive cleanup with automatic content tagging and reorganization in real-time as the migration process occurs. The software "intelligently" classifies, captures, and relocates content based on a set of preconfigured enterprise policies that can be triggered based on file path, file name, file metadata, file type, or even file content. During migration, Trusted Edge tags content with classification metadata for improved indexing and creates a forensic audit trail that details how each item was processed. http://www.filetek.com
